Abstract

Information Communication Technology (ICT) has become the centre of the teaching and learning process in the 21stcentury. The Covid-19 pandemic made teaching and learning shift to online and partially abandoned the conventional method. Google Forms is one of the applications commonly used by teachers to give students exercises and administer tests. Google Forms is a web-based data collection tool offered for free as part of the Google Suite application suite provided by Google Cloud. Hence, this study investigates the students’ perception of using Google Forms in an English subject. This study was conducted through a qualitative descriptive method, and purposive sampling was employed to collect the data. The participants in this research were 15 students in grade 10 from one of the senior high schools in Magelang. This study gathered the data through a questionnaire and an interview. The closed-ended questionnaire data were analyzed by the frequency of students' responses and were stated in percentages. Then, the interview was taped, transcribed, and analyzed. The study concludes that Google Forms helps students do their homework more effectively and efficiently. The students believe that Google Forms is more practical in helping them do exercises than paper as they need to erase and type if they want to change the answer. Although most students claim that Google Forms is effective and efficient as a method of doing exercises, they also feel that there need to be more features that can motivate students to participate in the class. As a result, students' motivation does not improve using Google Forms.

Abstract

The effectiveness of English language teaching in the classroom can be influenced by a multitude of factors, and among these, the teaching style employed by the teacher is a critical determinant that can significantly impact the success of the learning activities. This study aims to investigate the types of teaching strategies employed by English teachers in teaching English in vocational high schools, specifically under the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum launched by the Indonesian Ministry of Education. A qualitative research approach has been adopted, and data collection will be done through two main techniques: classroom observation and interviews. The results showed that both teachers implemented lecturing and small group discussions as their primary teaching strategies. The study also revealed the need for English lessons to be more specific to a topic that is closely related to students' majors, as highlighted by previous research. Moreover, the study revealed that different learning topics necessitate different teaching strategies, and using multiple strategies can enhance learning outcomes.

Abstract

Learners utilize their speaking ability to communicate, elicit an idea or point of view, convey their ideas and desires, and socialize oneself in order to interact with others. The ability to talk is used to evaluate English comprehension. On the other hand, many EFL learners' ability to use English for oral communication is still low, due to fear and shy. Therefore, EFL learners need motivation to strengthen their confidence. There is one method to achieve it that is teacher’s motivational strategies. Thus, this study aims to determine the effect of teacher’s motivational strategies on EFL learner’s speaking ability. In achieving this goal, the researcher used mixed method research. For the quantitative phase, experimental study was utilized to assess the effect between variables X, the teacher's motivational strategies as an independent variable, and Y, the learner's speaking ability as a dependent variable. Meanwhile, the field notes observation is used in qualitative phase. The post-test of both the experimental and control groups is .029 which is smaller than .05. It is acceptable to assume that there is a significant difference between the experimental and control groups. The calculation shows that the teacher's motivational strategies increase the learner's speaking ability. From the field notes observation, it wshowed that they can participate actively in classroom when teachers are applying motivational strategies or treatment. It can conclude that teachers' motivational strategies increase learner’s speaking ability in experimental group.
